| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Well holy crap. I'm glad that Kishi didn't go with this plotline. Sure, some stuff are the same, and the sexy no jutsu looks sexier.. but the plotline was dull. And the mini fox thing.. wtf? |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I really disliked it. I gave it a 5/10 but I think I was too generous. |
| It was quite a fun read , Naruto being the son of the Kyuubi was yuite interesting ... i'd say an 8/10 would be a good score for such an old manga ... |
| I'll have to agree I'm glad he made a bunch of changes. The son part seemed kind of a stretch. That change is probably the one I'm most thankful for. |
| Not that bad, but Anitnelav said: I'm glad that Kishi didn't go with this plotline. ... And the mini fox thing.. wtf? |
 |
| Pretty much the same theme in a different setting really. Not that many changes in the overall scheme of things. |
 |
| Hmm, Naruto and kyuubi story seems to have changed a lot since this was created. It's interesting to see what Kishi-sensei's original idea was. |
 |
| Such a shitty plot, OMG... I'm glad that Naruto became like it is today, if it became like this oneshot it would suck really hard. |
| Meh... |
| I liked it but it would've never been as big as Naruto was !! :/ |
 |
| Oh man! that was very interesting and very unique, who would think that this what was Naruto supposed to be, glad Kishimoto-sensei chose to go with a new idea instead, you can easily see that some things did not change in this pilot, but overall it was not that bad, I really liked it and also would like to see an anime adaptation of it. For an old manga it I gave it an 8/10! |
| ٩(●ᴗ●)۶ ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) (ᗒᗨᗕ) |
| I didn't like this at all. |
 |
| Easily the worst one shot I ever read. It´s like Shonen Jump told kishimoto to make something completly different for the serialized manga since this one shot was sh*t. |

| Some of y'all gave this pilot waaaaaaaaay too much credit. I don't love Naruto in a sense of a series but the world building, style, and even Kisi earlier more developed art after this is LEAGUES above this. I commend Kishimoto for workshopping this into the actual series run is the equivalent of turning stagnant water into wine. No direction, still developing his own art, and only keeping some of the bare bone elements. |

| Fascinating One-Shot of Naruto before it changed to what it is today. 6/10. I wonder how different it could have been if Naruto was kept as the son of Kyuubi as a monster in an era of humans and monsters living in peace. Guns in a ninja world is somewhat odd, so I'm glad that was removed. His ability to easily use jutsu to transform into other beings, be it people or animals is cool, including his classic Sexy Jutsu which was sweet to see in this pilot. Interesting how the core difference of history is 9 powerful humans, eight who died, one, the "hokage" who survived are the ones who killed Naruto's father, a Nine Tailed Fox. Naruto's struggle is similar to how he's scorned by the village for being the son of the Kyuubi who caused havoc. The plot of getting ordered by the "Hokage" to make a friend to build trust and later get framed for killing and stealing a valuable painting was well done. Along with how the friend of the deceased painter (who commited suicide after attempting to kill his friend out of jealousy, and painting a message of forgiveness) is the only one to take a chance in trusting Naruto to capture the real killer, which he does through smell. |
| To think that this was what Naruto could have turned out to be rather than the one we have today, Makes me feel so grateful that Kishimoto ditched this idea right then and there maybe due to criticsim from his editors or colleagues etc. |
